How to work with the effect of trauma on development and attachment with greater efficiency through emotional embodiment and inter-personal resonance.A Workshop with Raja Selvam, PhD
How an insecure attachment style (avoidant, ambivalent, or disorganized) shows up as specific adulthood relationship difficulties depends on the stage of childhood in which developmental or shock traumas affected our relational capacities; and the specific developmental tasks affected in a given stage of development. For example, the vulnerability driving an avoidant attachment style could be the terror of being annihilated from birth trauma (existence), or the deep distrust that one’s needs would be met from the experience of being starved in scheduled feeding practices (need), or the fear that another could destroy one’s self-experience from caregivers constantly neglecting or the child’s intruding upon the child’s self-experience (autonomy).
Within a single stage of development such as existence, the vulnerability driving the avoidant pattern might have to do with not having mastered the developmental task of feeling safe enough in one’s body to exist (existential safety); or feeling worthy enough to be loved (existential shame).
Integrating classical attachment theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth, Main, and Fonagy) with the most developed somatic theory of stages of childhood development and character structure formation (Marcher et al), and the finding that providing emotional regulation through embodied attunement is key to repairing attachment wounds (Wallen), the four-day workshop will describe and demonstrate how to work with adult relationship difficulties differentiated in terms of attachment styles and various developmental tasks in at least three early stages of development, using clinical strategies of inter-personal resonance and emotional embodiment from Integral Somatic PsychologyTM (ISPTM), a modality based partly on emerging paradigms of embodied cognition and emotion in cognitive neuroscience and psychology.
